LAHORE - Jamaat-i-Islami Chief Senator Sirjaul Haq has said that it would be a big tragedy if the people got impression that the policies of the PTI government has failed. Addressing the JI central leaders at Mansoora on Wednesday, he however added that neither the country’s economy would stabilize nor the economic crisis would be over unless the government switched over to the Islamic economic system. He said that ad hoc measures could improve the situation for a short period but the masses could not be pulled out of their problems. He said the government should have prepared a permanent plan to overcome the economic crisis but it was nowhere in sight till now.

Sirajul Haq appreciated the observations of the Chief Justice of Pakistan regarding NAB’s working which had been unable to develop a comprehensive system to control corruption and prove its impartiality.

He said the JI wanted a system of across the board accountability so that the corrupt could not escape. He said this was the demand of the entire nation which wanted to see justice and accountability being done.

The JI Chief said that the crumbling of the country’s economy within a few months was a big tragedy especially in view of the vast resources of the country and its manpower. All plans, he said, had to be suspended till some foreign country came to help.

He appealed to the Chief Justice of Pakistan to order trial of the 436 persons  named in the Panama leaks and a complete audit of their wealth within the country and abroad. He said that the NAB should be directed to go after the big fish and especially investigate the 150 mega scandals already pending with it. He said the people wanted end to moral corruption besides the financial corruption.
